    Prettiest pin cushions ever ... and the saucer provides a nice place to set snippers, stitch rippers, etc.

    Glad you found your pin cushion. I have a ton of bone china cups & saucers, all gifts. Excellent way to use them. Better than them just sitting in the china cabinet. They will make excellent gifts. Looking forward to your tute.

    I made one of those teacup pincushions. The saucer was a little on the plain side so I added a small lace doily between the cup and saucer for a more Victorian look.

    Nice touch ... and good idea!
    Did you glue it on, or leave it free so it could be laundered, as needed?

I had had a make-up quilting class on Thursday afternoon after my knitting class on Thursday morning. I had put the pincushion in the knitting bag when I took it from the car. I just didn't remember that I had taken it on Thursday! I would have found it next week when I got ready for the knitting class. Being an obsessive compulsive personality, I can't just ride in a car. I have to do something with my hands. The blue cup normally sits on my desk by my bed. The gold/white cup stays on the cutting table, and the pink on lives by the sewing machine.

    those are really cute. I have a few dainty cup/saucer sets that are too small for the folks I know. Would make wonderful pin cushions.

    Like I need another project--------------right this minute I've got tissue covers and casserole carriers on my sewing table---------and I'm on here!

    I glued the doily between the cup and saucer. Never thought about leaving it free to be laundered. Now I have yucky thoughts of the doily being dusty! I'll have to take a look.

    Lovely tea cup pin cushions. I am so glad you found the missing one. I will look forward to the tute....What section will you place it in? I ave some old demi-tasse cups and saucersthat were my moms, but of course there is a cup or two missing in each set, I'm sure they were broken or cracked years ago. I think these would make wonderful little friendship gifts. Thanks for sharing.

    Hugs Drue
